A Peasant Of My Nation

A Peasant Of My Nation

Everything around he surveys

As he has got the action

Even in the scorching heat

He loves the motion.


He has the devotion, deep!

That makes him work night and day

He has the dedication, supreme!

No matter, be it December or May.


He sings sweetly for his crops

And is always ready to fight every strife

For the garden of his heart

That drop of water is life.


Each droplet of his drip system

Is the supreme binding chord

He watches night and day

His green fields,long hours, even or odd.


With every drop of sweat on the grain

He works even in the fields fallow

Hands folded silently, awkwardly

At times, when the results are shallow.


He is the elegant character

But his platter usually empty

His pledge! Always passionate!

Yet his trials are hard and plenty.


We forget, he is the one who feeds us

Then why does his family faces the fragile path

They groan, many times they cry

Do they really deserve that wrath!


There is not good enoug

h done

That justifies his destiny

Rules still are wrong, wearied, unjustified

That is the unfortunate irony!


They are concerned for their luxuries

For their seats, heavy politically

Will they ever get awakened and

Make plans for our peasant, rationally


Why the peasant of my Nation

Has to strive, Has to die, has to perish?

The society, the system, the norms

Need a change, in nature they are devilish.


Our peasant is a supporter of our life

Why make him support a knife?

As a true citizen Let us get awakened

And pledge to upgrade his life.


A peasant is forever a peasant

Soft, docile, simple, warm but unheard

A silent being with a broken heart

But the very voice of God.


Just think If a peasant's spade

Is replaced by a gun,

where will the living world be heading to

The face will hide, even the sun.


His life is orchards, green blends

Monsoons,the brooks, the shining sun

Don't make him a hungry spirit

Something relevant needs to be done........
